Dengue in Argentina

Posted by Macachae | 11th April 2009

How can you prevent or help locals teaching them prevention actions:
* Turn pails and watering cans over and store them under shelter.
*Remove water in plant pot plates. Clean and scrub the plate thoroughly to move mosquito eggs. Avoid the use of plant pot plates, if possible.
*Loosen soil from potted plants to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water on the surface of the hardened soil.
*Do not block the flow of water in scupper drains along common corridors in HDB estates. Avoid placing potted plants and other paraphernalia over the scupper drains.
*Cover rarely used gully traps. Replace the gully trap with non-perforated ones and install anti-mosquito valves.
*Cover bamboo pole holders after use. Rainwater can potentially accumulate in these bamboo pole holders if they are uncovered and create a habitat.
*No tray or receptacles should be placed beneath and or/ on top of any air-conditioning unit so as not to create a condition favourable for mosquito breeding.
